He shot from a good position, but the ball went wide of Donnarumma’s goal. In the 12th minute, we saw the first goal of the match. Dembele made a nice run on the counterattack, carried the ball forward, and passed it to Barcola, who found himself next to Ibrahim Konate.

In a good chance for the home team, Jota shot over the goal, while on the other side, Kvaratskhelia had good opportunities. After a nice return pass from Dembele he shot just over Alisson’s goal, and Dembele himself, at the end of the first half, shot from the side from a good position, but MacAllister was in the right place, and thanks to that, the ball went wide of the goal.
